Looking for 1 GM to join a blades in the dark campaign. Both current players are experienced in Blades in the Dark and with GMing Blades in the past or in other groups and are open and willing to help people learn the system but we are mostly looking for a GM with a basic level of system understanding but most importantly a consistent dedicated GM with a regular availability who is willing to commit to a “long term” campaign.
We are fiction first and narratively character driven players anda re looking for others who are interested in the same type of game play, this doesn’t mean we want to coddle our characters or exclusively play the same ones through out the campaign, characters come and go and live and die, but while they’re around they and their stories matter. Then you push to desperate position and take fatal 4 harm and go out in a blaze of glory cause sometimes that’s just how it goes 😉 Looking for people invested in creating cool characters with lots of potential for narrative arcs and who are invested in creating a world together through their actions and choices. Players should be willing to discuss and be actively involved in their own story other characters stories and the world and NPC’s, this isn’t about just bad guys murder hoboing, this is about scoundrels with flaws and vices and problems and drives and motivations for what they do.
The optimal time is probably Saturday around 1pm EDT time but there may be some flexibility there on time or days so feel free to post your alternate available times and we can discuss.
Alternatively the link to the Roll20 listing is below. https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/77894/
EDIT: players full up for now.
I am tentatively interested as a player. I’ve GM’d several sesssions of Blades and have a good understanding of the rules. Capable of GMing, but I’d really prefer to get a chance to explore the game from the other side of the table.
Thomas Berton assuming we can find someone willing to GM (other player already runs a game as well, and I’ve run one in the past and frankly am just incredibly uncomfortable as the “orator” of story beats to a level that causes me anxiety) I’d be down to have you join. If you wanna post on the roll20 listing or dm me your email adress on there or something I can send you the join link.
Of course if we can’t find a GM the game won’t happen though so ya know temper expectations and if you know any spare gms throw them this way!
Ill need to check with the wife first, but I am tentatively willing to GM. Im currently gming another campaign with my workmates and have experience with more open end campaign systems like the west marches. I tend to run player led games, I prefer that the players tell me what they want to do and to facilate the story, rather than being proscriptive about what the score/quest will be.
That said I also tend to believe in real consequences to actions, so I try to run hard games without being needlessly punishing.
Luke Cartner understandable caveat, check and make sure first. In the past I’ve been unlucky with other gm’s and players having to bail so I’m definitely looking for someone committed to the effort and I have a lot of respect for people making sure they’re in a place where they can commit and it’s great of you to want to make sure it’s okay with your wife first. Let me know if you follow up with her and remain interested!
Chris McDonald Thanks for that Chris.
In general I should be able to GM this, Im on PST so 1pm your time will be 9am my time which normally should work pretty well. I can commit to most weekends. Unfortunately this weekend I need to take my youngest son to a birthday party in the morning. However from next week I should be able to GM it if you are still looking.
Luke Cartner absolutely, if you don’t mind make a post on the roll20 page and I’ll invite you to the game and send you a link to the discord. The this Saturday date was just to get the listing posted on roll20.
Thomas Berton​ I sent you an invite to the game on roll20 as well as an invite to the discord in pj’s.
Awesome, I’ve posted it. I’m interested to see what kind of crew you guys want to run.
